Pure is a charity supporting people with a disability and disadvantaged people to fulfil their potential.

This page is for people we support in Greater Manchester. Pure became an independent charity following a TUPE transfer from Stockport Council in 2005. We are a values led, creative organisation and our objectives are to promote independence, increase choice and provide appropriate support to people to enable them to make the most of their capacity and potential. In 1987 Employment Services was a part of Stockport Borough Council, providing employment opportunities and day care for people with a Learning Disability. We began a journey to modernise traditional day care across Stockport, moving away from larger institutions into smaller, community based settings. This move came from a strong belief in the philosophy that if we can support people to hold valued roles within communities then people with a disability would feel valued, and be recognised by others to have value. In 2005 we left the Local Authority and set up the charity Pure Innovations, continuing our vision to support a diverse range of people to live independent, healthy and valued lives in their communities. Today, we continue with our aim of supporting people to have a fulfilled life, with a sense of purpose and belonging. This can mean different things to different people and so Pure Innovations strives to provide a wide and varied offer, ranging from employment, volunteering and independent life skills to pursuing a variety of hobbies and interests. Our values have not changed over the years and have become a part of our DNA. We will be aspirational and believe in people’s ability to achieve amazing things even when they don’t believe it themselves.

Recently, we held our Wellness Festival at Vernon, with over 15 stalls offering free activities and sharing information about local services 🙌

A big thank you to the wonderful Electricity North West volunteers, who helped manage traffic and litter picking on the day. We were also joined by Lisa Smart - Liberal Democrats, who won a handmade teddy crafted by our amazing Creative Hub team!

The talented Handmade Harmonies Sing and Sign group wowed the crowd at the bandstand with their incredible performance, filling the festival with music and joy!

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so special 💙

A few weeks ago, we delivered our inaugural Level 3 ‘Certificate in Managing Independent Travel Training Programmes’, an intensive three-day course designed for a maximum of six learners.

The small group size meant everyone could really immerse themselves in the learning, with peer-to-peer conversations and discussions at the heart of the experience 🙌

It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm, collaboration, and commitment from all our learners and we can’t wait to see the positive impact their new knowledge and skills will have on travel training programmes! 👏

Each participant leaves with a clear plan for the future, whether that’s building social connections, starting voluntary work, moving into further education, or joining day services.

We’d also like to say a special thank you to Lancashire Cricket for hosting our mock interviews and providing such valuable, constructive feedback 👏

Well done everyone 💙

We had the pleasure of welcoming two very special visitors to our Armed Forces Community Hub in Hazel Grove!

Lisa Smart MP joined us to speak with veterans, listening to their experiences of service, the challenges they’ve faced, and their thoughts on what the government could do better to support the veteran community.

We were also delighted to welcome our first ever visitor from the Indian Navy. Benson, who is visiting family in the area, spotted our sign outside the Civic Hall and decided to pop in. He was given a warm welcome, and many stories were shared.

A big thank you to both visitors for taking the time to connect with our community 💙

The Community Hub had a fantastic time at the bustling Brinnington WellFest Event!

We were there to spread the word about our service, connect with other local organisations, and run a creative activity for visitors.

Our activity invited people to share what “Community” means to them through a single word, a drawing, or even a mini collage!

We also had a great chat with the local PCSOs about their thoughts on community, and had a meaningful conversation about how vital services like ours are for people who may be feeling isolated 💙
